Pros

Employees relatively friendly, ok benefits and compensation. Computer systems are complex and easy to use. Cafeteria is nice and gym is a nice benefit as well.

Cons

Work is boring and spread out between too many people. Too much turnover in various departments. Individuals have too much time on their hands. Compensation is average and could be better to meet the other area companies.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
